Actually, I noticed this too. Brian and I slept through most of the day and woke up to watch the Sunday night cartoons on Fox, but I am not sure if I even saw one 9/11 related thing the whole time we were watching. I mentioned something similar to Brian on Friday along the lines of "Gee... i wonder how they're going to split up the footage of tragedy between honoring 9/11 and making sure there's plenty of coverage on the Katrina aftermath."

I also observed how after 9/11, everyone was a little nicer to each other for maybe a week or two. Then it was back to "Get out of my way! I was here first! Give my pet lobby issue news time! Me! Me! Me!" fairly soon after. I found that more than a little disappointing. How quickly we like to forget things so we can get back to our comfortable, familiar, self-centered routines as a society.
